Here’s what past clients have to say:
“Thank you so much for all the time you spent consulting me on the ins, outs, ups, & downs of breastfeeding. We feel really fortunate that I could call on you for help during this time of adjustment. Your generosity of time and willingness to hear out all my concerns has meant a lot to all of us. The last conversation I had with you helped put many of my fears to rest and helped me feel a lot more confident about breastfeeding. Thank you so much for helping walk me through everything. Your thoughts & ideas have made a big difference in my experience & the breastfeeding is going much better these days.” Monica, mom to Eli
“...baby is doing good, up to 9 lbs, eating, sleeping, pooping great! Going to see my niece Xmas eve & tell her how much help you were. Hopefully, she'll give you a call.” Lisa, mom to Katie
“Breastfeeding was the most amazing experience which caught me off guard. I doubted the bonding capacity and was simply doing it because I knew it was best for Ian. Now that he is fully weaned, I miss nursing ... I think maybe more than he does :)...Thank you again Amanda!” Amy, mom to Ian
